running a VB script as a service

31st August 2005, 07:39

hi,
can someone please help me out on this one?

i have a script which queries information from a specific registry key on a whole bunch of servers. it only reads information. it changes nothing. since i do not have access to all these servers i used to run the script using the admin account of a colleague. this is no longer possible.

i've found some websites which offer products which make it possible to run the script as a service. does anyone know a freeware tool which does the same?
i could then get a service account and let the script run under that one.

thx in advance

Yesterday we stood at the edge of the abyss. Today we are a step further...

There is a program that came with the NT4 resource kit that run a batch file as a server. AutoExNT was the name. it is available to download but you need the buy the resource kit as it is still a licensed product. Hope it helps.
